An Ass once found
a Lion's skin which
the hunters had
left out in the sun
to dry. He put it on
and went towards
his native village.
All fled at his
approach, both
men and animals,
and he was a
proud Ass that
day. In his delight
he lifted up his
voice and brayed,
but then every
one knew him, and
his owner came up
and gave him a
sound cudgelling
for the fright he
had caused. And
shortly afterwards
a Fox came up to
him and said: "Ah, I
knew you by your
voice."
Fine clothes may
disguise, but silly
words will disclose
a fool...
